The Quebec government will also be collecting a portion of the money earned from each ride.

Jean-Nicolas Guillemette, Uber Quebec’s general manager, said an obligation for drivers to obtain one particular type of permit is a barrier, especially for drivers who want to work fewer hours a week.

Many Uber drivers work part-time.

Guillemette said he doesn’t know how many drivers might leave the company.
